My absolute favorite running, hiking, and camping tops are merino, most of which are Tracksmith's harriers. Today I'm branching out and trying a similar style from Arc'teryx. Short version? Both are excellent, and I recommend either! The Lana long sleeve is a pretty basic merino crew, but there are a few things to know before buying. Overall, the Lana is an excellent, versatile tee worn alone ...

Tracksmith Downeaster Crew Review
As a cold-natured person, finding good winter technical tops is my constant mission. I love my Tracksmith harrier long sleeves, but they're not warm enough to wear on their own for true winter conditions. If you like running in merino too, but you feel like most merino is too lightweight for winter conditions, Tracksmith's downeaster is the answer! This top performs well enough for the longest ...

I bought it to use for winter running, hiking, and backpacking. This jacket was formerly known as the ...
The Best Camp Shoes: The North Face ThermoBall Bootie
Over the last couple of years, I've been spending more and more time car camping. I discovered The North Face's ThermoBall booties when I saw another gal wearing them while I was camping with a group. I'd spent a few too many nights awkwardly shoving my socks into sandals when the temps dropped, and I knew I needed a better option. I commented on how they looked like they'd be great camp shoes, ...
Threads 4 Thought Sustainable Activewear Review
This week, I'm featuring a new brand to the blog: Threads 4 Thought. They offer both casual and active clothing, but of course I'm highlighting their activewear. In this post, I'll review the Kyanna half zip hoodie, Joanne sports bra, and Saskia leggings. My history with Threads 4 Thought goes waaay back. I bought several of their casual tees circa 2010. They were my absolute favorites at the ...
